The most popular types of fake nails can be divided into two categories: acrylic and gel nails. Both are – beautiful, long nails that look completely natural.But what are the differences and which to choose?
Acrylic nails
Acrylic nails are more popular than gel nails, but this popularity is largely explained by the fact that they were longer in the nail market. Acrylic nails can cover completely or partially. Acrylic technology uses a blend of liquid acrylic (monomer) and polymer, so-called acrylic powder. Acrylic dries quickly, does not require heat.
If the acrylic is applied properly and professionally, it can make your nails stronger, filling all the cracks on their surfaces.
Some women prefer to have a solid one-piece acrylic overlay on your nails – the “tips”.
Others prefer the sculpted acrylic nails, which are an extension of your own nail.
Usually, the acrylic is applied to the nail bed. You can create the nails of any length and shape. After a while, begins to break down acrylic. In the period of every two to three weeks is an appropriate correction of nails in a specialist.
Pull the nails can not be crumbling, but also leave no safe. The longer you leave them, the more likely it is that you can damage your own natural nails. Acrylic nails are removed in acetone, however, this should also be done by a professional. Remove acrylic nails clippers are also dangerous because it can damage the top layers of the nail for a long time and leave them weak and brittle.
There are some disadvantages that may arise with acrylic nails.
Some nail art, use a drill to correct the artificial plate near the nail bed, which can ruin your natural nail plate. It is very painful and can even leave bruises on your nails.
If the nails are not incremented properly – under the acrylic can appear micro-cavity. If they are not supplemented in time, it can lead to the accumulation and development of nail fungus.
Gel nails
Gel nails can create nails that look as natural.
Sometimes the gel contains an artificial protein. Interacting with the natural nail protein, it leads to the formation of a flexible coupling between the product and nail, which completely eliminates the damage to the nail.
Despite the fact that gel nails look more natural than the glossy acrylic nails, while “rejection” gel nails faster than acrylic.
The gel used in the process of creating beautiful nails – do not spread bad smell, unlike the chemicals used in acrylic technology. Anyway, gel nails, bring less damage, “the natural ecology of nails.”
Gel nails are usually more expensive. When removing gel nails, they must be cut down, because they can not simply be washed with acetone, as acrylic.
As you probably already noticed, the ratio of price and quality acrylic and gel nails is as follows:
At first place there is naturalness and ecological safety of a material.
In second place – the strength and durability.
